The village of Yumu, said to be "of obscure origin", is located on the western side of Kainji Lake in Agwara District, Niger State, adjacent to the areas of the divergent Kainji languages of Reshe, Lopa and Laru.[2]
A 1979 linguistic survey of Nigeria, citing Rev. A. Washbrook, lists Yumu as either a dialect of Lopa or of Kambari.[3]
